Distance Formula is given by:

`\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} * \text{Time}`

As per the statement:

Light travels at a speed of 3.0 x 10^8 meters/second.

To find the distance light travels in 4,500 seconds.

using above formula:

`\text{Distance} = 3 * 10^7 * 4500`

Using calculator, we get

Distance = 1.35e+12 meters.

Therefore, you would get 1.35e+12 meters.
